"There's no one there," he whispered. "But we must be quick."
Lyra stopped beside the Master's chair and flicked the biggest glass gently with a fingernail. The sound rang clearly through the hall.
But she put her palm over the ringing crystal anyway, and Pantalaimon fluttered ahead and through the slightly open door of the Retiring Room at the other end of the dais. After a moment he appeared again.
Crouching behind the high table, Lyra darted along and through the door into the Retiring Room, where she stood up and looked around. The only light in here came from the fireplace, where a bright blaze of logs settled slightly as she looked, sending a fountain of sparks up into the chimney. She had lived most of her life in the College, but had never seen the Retiring Room before: only Scholars and their guests were allowed in here, and never females. Even the maidservants didn't clean in here. That was the Butler's job alone.
"They're making too much noise to hear from the kitchen,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Lyra whispered back. "And the Steward doesn't come in till the first bell. Stop fussing."
"You're not taking this seriously," whispered her daemon. "Behave yourself."
THE DECANTER OF TOKAY[/b]
Lyra and her daemon moved through the darkening hall, taking care to keep to one side, out of sight of the kitchen. The three great tables that ran the length of the hall were laid already,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the silver and the glass catching what little light there was, and the long benches were pulled out ready for the guests. Portraits of former Masters hung high up in the gloom along the walls. Lyra reached the dais and looked back at the open kitchen door, and,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], seeing no one, stepped up beside the high table. The places here were laid with gold, not silver, and the fourteen seats were not oak benches but mahogany chairs with velvet cushions.
Her daemon's name was Pantalaimon, and he was currently in the form of a moth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a dark brown one so as not to show up in the darkness of the hall.
